"i believe in fender amps buy one-try one and you will believe to"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i expect this fender amp to perform like all fender products i own i got my first fender in 1975 to this day i love that ride and all the we have spent together the legend lives on
Sound
you don't have to crank this amp to max i set the volume to 3-4 running a clean sound you can cut notes hard and sharp or get the amp to make em howl like my hound dog on a cold winter night if you want to worm it up adjust the drive to add some fuzz i don't care this amp will do it it surprises me all the time
Features
purchased this amp with no accessories had them already that being said if you do not have remote switches or effects you should get a single button remote switch at the very least all i can say is for your hard earned $$ you will get a big bang for your buck
Ease of Use
i use this amp at home and its rattles my house no problem good clean sound great for blues and rock turn up the drive hey add an effect processor and you have everything you could need for sounds you could even play a small room leave the heavyweight in the truck
Quality
what can i say heavy gauge metal reinforced corners easyaxess carry handle straight forward user friendly control panel and extra tuff fender cloth speaker cover you cant go wrong
Value
yes every cent
Manufacturer Support

The Wow Factor

"Fender is still doing it!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'll keep it until it dies. At that time I would look for an equal replacement. If I could't find something better at that time and the FM210R was still available,I would probably get another.
Sound
The FM210R is pretty much a pratice amp on steroids. It has good sound up to about 6 on the volume knob, after that it will start to break up . But the good news is at 6 it's starting to move the small knick-nacks the missus has up stairs. The distortion channel is typical Fender. Kind of mellow between 1 and 3, after that it starts to get just a bit muddy. After all, if you want a certain sound that your favorite lead player has you are gonna have to buy thier pedal set up. I don't think the should change a thing. If you need more power or want the Marshall sound, buy a Marshall. This is good, affordable Fender sound.
Features
The only feature you can get for it is a channel switching foot pedal. I bought one just for grins and giggles. It works fine. As for stuff I would want added to it, NOTHING! I bought this amp for the clean sound. Most amps spend too much on trying to stuff a s--- load of effects into too small a space. The clean channel suffers in volume WHILE YOU GET STUCK WITH A BUNCH OF CRAPPY SOUNDING EFFECTS. This has good power in the clean channel which is what I wanted. By the way, I do have a nice compliment of stomp boxes that I use with this amp and they sound great.
Quality
I have had Fenders since 1974. I have a '67 Bassman 50 Silver Face that is still cranking out. I take good care of my "toys" and feel that the FM210R should last a long time too. The construction is good and being all black makes it look like it's "READY TO GO."
Value
This is worth the price paid. By having the 2 speakers in the cab, it gives you a nice full sound that you cant't get with a single speaker set up.
Manufacturer Support
I have had trouble getting some guitar parts in the past but have never needed anything for my Fender amps, I hope thier qualty spilled over into this amp and I won't need any.
The Wow Factor
There is no sex appeal in a black box unless you are into something I don't know about and don't want to know about. If I want to look at something "sexy," I plan on plugging something other than a guitar cord into it.
